REJOICING IN THE LORD JESUS IN ALL CASES AND CONDITIONS
SUCH a treatise as this needs but little introduction. The doctrines are Scriptural, the arrangement satisfactory, the style clear. It were almost desirable to forget (at least temporarily) the author, and to meditate wholly upon Jehovah, the Reason for his rejoicing and ours, the God of his salvation and ours ! But somehow we all value biographies of those in whom we take interest. Most men dislike anonymity in authorship unless it afford speculative enjoyment. Therefore a few words concerning Robert Asty may be in place.
The name is generally unknown now, but many 17th century saints praised God for those who bore it. Our author was (by grace) the worthy son of a worthy father. Robert Asty (the elder) was a minister of the Gospel, and his father also had held a pastorate, viz., that of Feltwell, in Norfolk. It is no easy task to write notices of these servants of God without repeating the name till it weary the reader, but clearness is essential. Robert Asty (the elder), father of Robert Asty (our author), was born 1607. He preached first at Wrentham, then at Stratford-both Suffolk towns. From the latter he was ejected by the oppressive Uniformity Act, 1662. He died Dec. 29, 1667. The servant of God with whom we are specially concerned was his youngest child; and only son. We can well imagine that the loving parents made his after-life a matter of perpetual prayer. We can readily believe that the father oft explained in simple language the truth' of God to his little one. The result was unto the glory of Jehovah, for not only did he receive the effectual call, but was enabled to preach the Word faithfully to others, as this book certifies.
